Location: Various locations along I-95

Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuit restaurants are few and far between up here in New England, but every time we travel south on I-95 we make it a point to stop at a Popeye’s at least once. Specializing in New Orleans-style chicken, Popeye’s is the world’s second-largest quick-service chicken chain. We love it! It’s got KFC beat by a mile!

Papa Gino’s is a New England chain of pizzerias specializing in American-style pizza along with pasta, subs, salads, and a variety of appetizers. I’m your typical pizza lover… I could eat it daily if my wife would let me. Of all the pizza I’ve experienced Papa Gino’s is definitely in my top 5. Prices are a little high but they are always having specials deals. AAA members also get special treatment.

There are several Papa Gino’s located just off I-95 exits in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. They also have plans to expand beyond New England… New York, Virginia and Florida. Give them a try!

Location: I-95, Exit 1 - Kittery, Maine

Kittery is the first I-95 exit once you get into Maine. The area is a popular outlet shopping stop. Just a few hundred feet south on US Route one you’ll find the Sunrise Grill. We stopped here for breakfast one morning and found a full parking lot. Looked like all the locals eat here. We had a great breakfast at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. We plan on heading up to Maine again next month and plan to stop here for lunch.

Location: I-95, Exit 2 - Kittery, Maine

Fresh New England seafood, generous portions and reasonable prices. The Weathervane is a small, family owned and operated chain of about 16 locations is Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont and New York. If you’re an I-95 traveler and you want a real taste of New England seafood, the Kittery, Maine location is perfect! It’s just a minute or two off I-95, exit 2. You can travel off the beaten path but you won’t find much better than Weathervane.

Vientienne Eat In & Take Out is one of the best Thai restaurents I have ever eaten at. If you like Thai, give this restaurant a try. Pad Thai in my opinion is their best buy. 5 stars is my review. Try them out. I bet you’ll give them 5 star too.
